Description

Prey helps you retrieve your lost or stolen phone, tablet and laptop. Prey is 100% FREE and you can protect up to 3 devices with one single account.

Prey works on all major operating systems, so it lets you keep track and trigger actions on all your devices from a single place. Like a universal remote control, but for laptops and mobiles.

Download Prey on the devices you want to protect and configure your account so you can:

- Find your phone on a map through geolocation using both GPS and WiFi triangulation- Get reports with pictures taken with your device, screenshots and location (the crucial piece of data that police officers need to take action)- Lock your device down- Trigger a loud alarm remotely even if your phone is put on silent- Display a tailored alert message on the screen- Gather the network information that your device is connected to (for accurate pinpointing)

We should mention that sensitive data is gathered only when you request it, and is for your eyes only ‐ nothing is sent without your permission. You can always check our source code if you want to make sure.

Used to be good Can no longer add my device, getting some kind of error. And every time it updates or I haven't gone and opened the app in a while, it logs out and you have to add your device as a brand new device. Naturally if you forget to do this every couple of weeks, the app is totally useless for finding a lost phone.

Used to be useful ZTE Z970 android phone. This used to be the best locator on the face of the Earth. Unfortunately they have "improved" it into uselessness. While it did finally find my phone, it thinks my desktop and notebook are 512 miles from where it is actually located in the middle of a reservoir. I used to recommend this but not anymore. Android Lost is a far superior locator.

No remote gps Im looking for an app that can turn on gps remotely. I dont leave it on because its such a huge battery drain. These theft apps talk a big game but they just seem to be shells for device manager which is pretty worthless unless you have your gps and data on all the time

Allows phone to be turned off when screen is locked. Great idea and features, but the feature that stops a locked phone from shutting down through holding the power button has NEVER worked and they refuse to solve this huge problem..they ignore it..

two tips 1. don't remotely sign out with prey on a device. you will never get back in. just threw my ZTE zmax away. yup. right in the trash. 2. don't forget your pass. i wont ever be able to sell my iPad mini 4. nor give my HTC cheapie cricket phone away even. weirdly, I'm using the right pass but I can't even get into the website. not sure why. used prey off and on for awhile now. never had this problem. I'm on record with apple as the iPad owner. receipt amd all. doesn't matter I guess.

Doesn't work, can't use network Fails to use proxyless wifi network. Device is SCH-1415 running Android 4.1.2. Even if it might work using carrier(not tried) this would be a significant flaw

Kills battery Prey started absolutely destroying my battery lately, taking as much as 32% of my entire phone power usage and giving me only 5 hours battery life. It's also sending 30MB of data a day but when I check it doesn't say my devices are reported as missing.

I was extremely satisfied with this app until got my Nexus 5x and now it flat out just does not work. I tried a clean install, granted all permissions, set up device administrator, and still no luck. I even looked for other outlets to leave feedback for the developers and no luck there either so I am left writing this bad review for an app that I wish could work for me. I am happy to update my rating when Prey recognizes my Nexus 5x.

Good app to track... but! Only limitation of this app is ...you are screwed if the theif switches off your device. There should be an option to prevent shutdown and also to remotely switch on the device.

Please provide sim change notification If sim is changed then the sms commands are useless. And also if there is no WiFi or data connection at the sim. It would be impossible to activate prey. Please do it urgently.
